Winter 2010

It is not uncommon for HSPH graduates to find themselves in significant public health leadership positions. For students who foresee such responsibility on their career path, this course provides a focus and framework to integrate the overall HSPH experience into a leadership trajectory. Though the course is primarily practice oriented, it will cover key aspects of leadership theory and concepts. With a focus on the pragmatic problems and challenges of assuming a prominent role in the public health system, the course also incorporates the theme of assuming a prominent role in the public health system, as in "what I wish I knew before I became a state public health commissioner." The class includes a combination of lecture, discussion, role play exercises and on-the-spot presentations and critiques by instructors and students.
